Aging

Mexico City's central cathedral dates to the seventeenth century and leans, its back hunched by age, slightly to the left. Over the years, the monumental stone construction has sunk into the unstable earth below, giving an impression of slightly crooked grandeur. Time weighs heavily here, on eroded structures and memories of a history that lingers in the present.
